Episode 355 - The Power of Thanksgiving

In this episode, the week of Thanksgiving, we take a couple of minutes to celebrate and appreciate how blessed we are; we take a deeper look at all the magnificent people and the things in our lives we are grateful for.


We go through a quick recap from arguably the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621 between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians to the present day, where the holidays became a national festivity and an excellent excuse to practice gratitude.


In addition, I suggest three simple yet powerful activities you can practice yourself and with your family or team members that will help you make the spirit of Thanksgiving meaningful in your life every day.
